Mia Farrow Slams 'Vicious Rumors,' Speaks Out About Deaths Of Her Three Children Following Explosive Woody Allen Doc
Mia Farrow is clearing up any misconceptions about her family, including the deaths of three of her children, after HBO's explosive Woody Allen documentary. In an emotional statement, released on Twitter late Wednesday evening, the actress and Allen's former lover fired back at the "vicious rumors based on untruths" in "Allen v. Farrow."
HBO's four-part documentary focuses on Dylan Farrow's accusations that Allen, who is her adoptive father, sexually assaulted her when she was just seven years old. Many "Allen v. Farrow" watchers have taken interest in the lives of her 14 children, including the deaths of Mia's daughters, Tam and Lark, and son Thaddeus, despite not being in the documentary.
Taking to her social media, Mia Farrow addressed their devastating passings.
"Few families are perfect, and any parent who has suffered the loss of a child knows that pain is ceaseless," she wrote. "However, some vicious rumors based on untruths have appeared online concerning the lives of three of my children."
"To honor their memory, their children and every family that has dealt with the death of a child, I am making this post."

"Despite her illness she lived a fruitful and loving life with her children and longtime partner," Mia said of Lark. "She succumbed to her illness & died suddenly in the hospital on Christmas, in her partner's arms."
